Tricky sudoku (Posted on 2006-06-05) Difficulty: 4 of 5
A new version of Sudoku Puzzle.

In this version, like in a normal sudoku, numbers 1 to 9 appears only once in every row or column. But in the nine 3 X 3 subblocks any number, instead of appearing only once, appears either once or twice or not at all. In each subblock, three numbers appears once, three numbers appears twice & three numbers do not appear at all.

Considering this rule solve the sudoku puzzle given below.
